I was trying to find scans and articles from Sassy magazine for a project and found this shoot of Chloe Sevigny as Edie Sedgwick from Blair magazine. For a while I disliked Chloe Sevigny because I hated her character in Melinda and Melinda. Then I realized it just means she's a good actress, along with having fun style! Oopysdoops.

Alllllso, I'm gonna go out on a whim and ask that if anyone has any issues of Sassy (before it sold out to Teen) could they pretty please pretty pretty scan them in (maybe send?!) for this project? Lots of fashion bloggers would love you forever and shower you with invisible Comme and McQueen! It's a lot to ask but couldn't hurt to try..Also, another picture from LA that I'm just posting now because I suck at email! This is with Jenny from the Opening Ceremony store. I wish I'd gotten a picture of her amazing necklaces!Ignore me. Awkard child is awkward.

belle-oh, it was just that I got the email with the picture a month ago and never posted it lol. And yeah seriously, almost as vampire/pale as you too! XD

kassie-WOW, really? Like I said, it would be amazing to have a copy, but I know that's a lot to ask and I probably wouldn't give any away either. I'd be happy to do a swap, maybe send over clothing or make you a zine? I'd take any issue too, from '89-94. Again, I know it's a lot to ask so maybe just scans or even pictures of your favorite features? Feel free to completely ignore me but if you're interested my email is tavitoons@yahoo.com! Thanks!

Can I take this moment to fangirl a bit? Tavi, of the gads of different types of blogs I subscribe to, yours is the one that i am always excited to see in my inbox and never feel disappointed by. Srsly your writing is fresh and funny and you have the most imaginative and unique take on fashion. I love it. I'm not a fashion blogger myself tho I often chronicle what I wear as fashion therapy...as I think our wardrobes say a lot about our emotional states. You totally go up and beyond any other fashion blogger I've seen in regards to capturing your personality, emotions and fantasy through your clothing. Endlessly inspirational! xoxo Rachel RabbitRabbit Write

Aww I used to love Sassy...it was so much better than YM. Ok I feel soo old right now. Anyway, I wish I hadn't thrown all my old mags away (in the meantime I've got piles and piles of Vogues, Elles, HB, etc. etc.) You look awesome in that pic, btw!! Awesome outift!!

Hello There.My name is Paulo, and I'm from Bazil.me and a friend of mine, called Raul, just love your clothes and style.We are creating a new brazilian labem called Cabra-Montéz, and we would be really happy and proud, just to know what you think about our stuff out there.See you.

I loved Sassy when I was a pre-teen! I remember reading it in the doctor's office. Thats how I learned what the word "jaded" meant in an interview with Claire Danes back when she was doing My So-Called Life.

Sassy was the greatest! I just did a post about it (http://alison-adorn.blogspot.com/2009/06/nostalgia.html), but think you've probably found all the photos I used already. I have a secret hope that all my old issues are in a box at my parent house, but I don't know. It might be cheesy hyperbole, but I think Sassy changed my life. Back then there wasn't much affirmation that it was OK to be different and wear kooky stuff! Good luck with the project!

Very cool series of pictures. I love the 2nd last Chloe picture something about the clothing and the "whats that on the ceiling expression" she has on her face. Kind of childlike. Very Very brilliant blog.
